A homeowners or renters insurance policy can do more than protect your home; it can also protect any personal property you have stored in your self-storage unit. If you have an existing homeowners or renters insurance policy, you can use that instead of relying on third-party coverage. How Can It Cover Your Items in Storage? Most homeowners and renters insurance policies have provisions for "off-premises" coverage, which protects your personal property in case it's lost, stolen, or damaged during business trips, vacations, or even while moving from one home to another.

If you are getting ready to remodel your home and want to declutter it as thoroughly as possible, you may need to rent a self-storage unit to have space to store your things. Renting a storage unit will not only help you declutter, but it will also free up space in your home that is much needed to complete remodeling projects. If you want to handle this the right way and stay as organized as possible, you may want to utilize an organizational system that involves numbering the boxes and creating a list of contents.
